GARBO TALKS In celebration of the 100th anniversary of Greta Garbo’s birth, Scandinavia House presents the film series Forever Garbo. Up next are dual screenings of the American and German productions of “Anna Christie” (1930), based on the Eugene O’Neill play about a Swedish-American prostitute haunted by her past.
